TASTING NOTE: Raspberry leaf, graphite and orange rind aromas. Concentrated raspberry and cherry fruit flavors, the palate is dry, balanced and textured with fine grained tannin. Decant two to 48 hours and serve cool, about 65 F.

ELEVAGE: Grapes were foot crushed and put whole cluster into one ton bins to ferment with once daily punchdowns. After twenty-two days the grapes were pressed and settled juice was moved to old French oak barrels to complete fermentation. In September of 2020 the wine was racked out of barrel into tank and bottled by hand without fining or filtration.

VINEYARD: In Lodi, New York on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake grower Mark Wagner maintains one hundred and twelve acres of vines over twenty unique plots with soils primarily composed of Honeoye Silt Loam and Lansing Gravely Loam over shale. These vineyards are meticulously cared for with an eye towards sustainability and produce classic Finger Lakes wines with wonderful balance and clarity.



Two tons of beautiful cabernet franc all ready for crushing.
